Uncle Bill was an amazing man. He retired in his 50's but never really retired from working. He was always busy...he could fix anything mechanical and even built his own home with the help of a few friends, my dad (Shorty) included. They were best friends. Uncle Bill loved animals and working with wood. He had a cellar full of woodworking equipment which he put to good use making his own bedroom set and entertainment center in addition to many many other wood pieces. I asked him once what he attributed his long life to and his answer was "I never smoked, drank alcohol and when I retired, I took off my watch and never wore it again". In five months, he would have been 100! Our entire family (me, Ray, Kimberly, Lynn, Jeremy, Simeon and Seth) will miss our time with him when we visited Pittsburgh. I would also like to thank my cousin Paulette for putting her life "on hold" for the last several years to take such good care of him. We love you Uncle Bill and pray we will see you again.

Dearest Uncle Bill,
How we loved you! Our visits with you when we came back to PA over the years were always special. Hoping you are fully whole and enjoying the perfection of Heaven.
Love,
